Karen Jorritsma, RGD

Hello, I'm Karen Jorritsma!

I am the owner and Graphic Designer behind Bolster Design. I am a multidisciplinary designer with an eye for detail and innovation. I have 20+ years experience working for reputable agencies large and small, specializing in brand identity, promotional marketing and corporate communications. I am a graduate of Sheridan College’s Graphic Design Program and have received awards for my work. I am also a certified Registered Graphic Designer (RGD). I love learning new things and taking on new projects.

Pleased to meet you!

What is a Registered Graphic Designer (RGD)?

To become a Registered Graphic Designer, I went through a certification process specified by the Association of Registered Graphic Designers that verified my education, training, and experience in the industry and confirmed my ability to perform to a high standard of competence.

Through certification, I demonstrated an understanding of:

  • business best practices,

  • accessible design principles,

  • research methods and ethics,

  • and the application of strategic design principles to marketing and communications challenges.

 

How is this good for my clients?

You have the assurance that Bolster Design is run professionally, ethically, and with knowledge of industry best practices. I have been evaluated by leaders in my industry and shown to work to a high professional standard. The work I do for you will be up to this standard, and your interactions with me and my company will be professional and ethical.

Isn’t that great to hear?
